Farmers' Market Monday 3-7pm
From now until the fall, the market will be starting at 3:00pm. With the warm weather approaching you'll also be sure to see our vendors slowly moving outside the fieldhouse and into the park.
This week they'll be plenty of spring greens available including wild leeks, salad mix and spinach. Unfortuneatly, deFloured will not be joining us this week, but we are happy to announce that Le Tibet will be returning to vend with us with their delicious momos and noodles. Check the sidebar for a list of all the vendors this week.
